Upcoming Events

A Lecture Series is a two-day educational event that is organised at three different locations. Lecture Series aim at disseminating state-of-the-art scientific or technical knowledge (often, but not necessarily, based on the findings of a Task Group) among wider and less specialised audiences than Specialists Meetings. The Lecture Series Director is responsible for the programme. Lectures are provided by the Lecture Series Director and up to four Lecturers. Lecture Series are combined with a STO report (Educational Notes), which will be made available before the first Lecture Series session.

AVT-375  on Munition Health Management Lecture Series: Implementation Challenges

Research Lecture Series 

 to be held in Ankara, Turkey, 05-06 June 2024

  

The lecture series is open to citizens from NATO nations, Australia, Japan, Republic of Korea and Singapore.

 

Scientific Objectives

The RLS aims at end-users of munitions and guided missiles in the munitions’, quality and logistics branches of MoD’s. The RLS provides information of state of the art MHM technologies and approaches. Further, guidance is given in setting up and implementing MHM technologies based on realistic cost benefit analyses. The lectures will be arranged in a logical and systematic way allowing participants to select lectures that suit their position best.

Topics to be covered

  • Overview of current state of the art of technology in the field of Munition Health Management
  • Examples of system implementation and integration, discussing current operational HUMS systems
  • Systematic steps towards implementation of MHM: Implementation strategy (AOP-4844)
  • Life decision process
  • Cost Benefit Analysis
  • Design of MHM capability

 

 Registration deadline: 20.05.2024

Lecture Series Lecture Series Office
Booked: 0 | Free Seats: Unlimited

von Karman Institute Lecture Series and Events
Introduction to Quantum Computing in Fluid Dynamics 
Monday 08 July 2024 - Friday 12 July 2024 

 
The programme and registration system are online at the following address: 
 

This lecture series is organized by the von Karman institute for Fluid Dynamics with the financial support of the NATO Science & Technology Organization. The series aims to:

  • Introduce participants to the emerging field of quantum computing in fluid dynamics.
  • Explore state-of-the-art computational methods and software libraries for applying quantum computing to fluid dynamics simulations and multi-disciplinary optimization.
  • Provide a platform for networking and forming international partnerships in this exciting  field.

 

This lecture series is suitable for individuals with a background in fluid dynamics and an interest in learning about the potential of quantum computing in this field. The program features lectures by leading experts from Belgium, France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, covering topics such as:

  • The basics of quantum computing
  • Quantum algorithms for solving differential equations
  • Hybrid computing for the NISQ era (noisy intermediate-scale quantum)
  • Quantum machine learning and partial differential equations.

 

Practical Information

  • The lecture series will be held in a hybrid format, offering both online and on-site participation. Location: von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, Waterloosesteenweg 72, 1640 Sint-Genesius-Rode (near Brussels).
  • Parking and Security Information: Parking places are available on the premises, just before the security fence. To enter, please ring the bell at the fence.
  • Registration Deadline for on-site participation: 26 June 2024
